Each of the districts I visited is full of amped-up volunteers, has a Republican incumbent who has forgotten how to campaign, and is full of voters who are beyond furious about losing health care. They are starved for funding to start fighting

CA-01, where Jessica Holcombe is running, is home to the Oroville Dam. This dam nearly burst a few weeks ago, a calamity that would have killed thousands.. When Jessica held a town hall in Oroville, the only thing people wanted to talk about was health care.

That's how much this matters to people. These voters deserve a real choice—they deserve to hear from the progressive candidates in their district who are motivated and running for office while holding down full-time work. No Democratic campaign should lack for funding this year.

That's why I'm imploring everyone to donate whatever you can, right now, to Jess King in PA-16 (https://secure.actblue.com/donate/jesskingtechsolidarity?refcode=techsolidarity …) , Marge Doyle in CA-08 (https://secure.actblue.com/donate/ts-for-marge …), Jessica Holcombe in CA-01 (https://www.crowdpac.com/campaigns/245830/jessica-holcombe …), or another progressive candidate in a rural district.

Are there any good sites that rank these races by polling and funding, so we can see where the most promising opportunities are?

There's not really polling in any of these districts—you have to ply local politicos with beer or pancakes to get a sense of them. Raw funding numbers are on the FEC site, but that doesn't show you whether the money will be spent effectively. So, it's hard to quantify this

no one is ever going to pay for a poll for these districts and make the results public. They cost more than Delicious!

How much do they cost? Would that data be worth crowdfunding for?

I believe they cost in the range of 5-50K. What would you poll on, though?
